Pineapple Marmalade

This pineapple marmalade is great on toast or as a marinade or topping for pork or chicken. You can add it to frosting for a tropical twist on a cake, and you can even use it as the main ingredient in an agua fresca.

Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 16 servings

  • 1 large fresh pineapple - peeled, cored, and sliced

  • ½ cup pineapple juice

  • ½ cup brown sugar

  • 1 (4 inch) cinnamon stick

  • 2 whole cloves

  • ¼ cup lemon juice

  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest

Directions

  1. Coarsely blend pineapple in a blender.

  2. Combine pineapple juice, brown sugar, cinnamon stick, and cloves in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Boil for 1 minute, then remove cloves.

  3. Add pineapple, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and continue cooking until thickened, about 1 hour, stirring every 10 minutes. Discard cinnamon stick.

  4. Meanwhile, inspect a jar for cracks and rings for rust. Immerse in simmering water until marmalade is ready. Wash a new, unused lid and ring in warm soapy water.

  5. Spoon pineapple marmalade into the hot, sterile jar, filling to within 1/4 inch of the top. Run a clean knife or thin spatula around the insides of the jar to remove any air bubbles. Wipe the rim with a moist paper towel to remove any residue. Top with the lid and screw ring on tightly. Store in a cool, dark area.

Cook’s Note

I use the juice from the pineapple, but canned juice will also work.
